I would argue that in most cases you can tell the difference based on depth, but there are exceptions with some women being able to hit some guttural lows that make them indistinguishable from their male counterparts.

There are some men who don't go as deep either, so it's not an absolute way of telling. Then there are high pitched screams, where obviously most women have no problem going high.

I meant more so in terms of natural depth. Like listening to men and women speak, men generally have deeper voices and that carries over into singing (both clean and extreme). Or at least I find it easy to discern. :/

Of course, but some women can still go lower than most men, and some men higher than most women.

well if you know the band, but sometimes blindly I find some unknown band, I cant tell growler, screamer are men or women

The first time I heard Mythic I thought it was a guy on vocals.
But it turns out they are an all female band.
Sometimes its really hard to tell.
Others not so much.

My problem is a bunch of motherfuckers we don't even know calling us assholes on the internet to teenagers and guys who can't even get laid.
Putting a stop to that is the most important thing we could ever do.

Very rarely. I quite like vocalists such as Marta Gabriel and Elisa C. Martin. Most recently I've been really liking Ida Haukland from Triosphere. I don't really enjoy female vocals in bands like Epica, Within Temptation or those sorts of bands. I find it quite boring and samey

I do like 'em..... some. I think it's the same with men: some vocalists I like some I don't. I believe it would be kind of boring always hearing male vocalists in metal, knowing that there are very good female metal singers out there; i.e.: the symphonyc ones (at least several of them), the growler from Cripper (way better than a lot of male growlers I've heard), Angela Gossow, Alissa White-Gluz, Lita Ford, Amy Lee, Maria Brink, Morgan Lander, Cristina Scabbia, etc.

Although I am a woman myself. I admit I don't have many metal bands in my collection with female singers - shame on me! However Nightwish is generally okay - my favorite of their singers was the swedish lady after Tarja Turunen - forgot her name though...
